Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 94 72. Thief

The first class ended at 8:10, and Gaius Brutus walked out of the classroom, still on time.

After a day of brief familiarization, the other experience students all knew the names of some of their classmates more or less, and they had a particularly deep impression of Gaius Brutus, the student who always ran out after class.

These students who don't seem to care at all about reviewing the course knowledge during the break after class are a real waste of time for other experience students.

Doesn't he feel sorry for the 10,000 euros his parents or other elders spent on him? Doesn't he have any intention of seeking progress at all?
Experiencing Arasaka Academy is such a rare opportunity. It may even be a stepping stone to enter Arasaka Corporation in the future. Even if you are not lucky enough to be favored by Arasaka Corporation, with a resume that shows elite education in Arasaka Academy, you can find a better job on the street. Even if you go to work as a porter at the docks, you can confidently ask for a higher salary. But Gaius is wasting this opportunity.

Gaius was indeed wasting a good opportunity.

For ordinary people from the lower class of Night City, spending 10,000 Euros to experience the Arasaka Academy is naturally a good opportunity, and wasting it is also very shameful. If Gaius is really a commoner from the lower class of Night City, he will also cherish this opportunity.

The only problem is, he was never Gaius, the poor kid from Highwood. He was Carl.

There is nothing wrong with studying hard, but the knowledge in Arasaka Academy is not what Carl needs to work hard and learn.

Those lessons on how to plan workers more reasonably were actually classroom knowledge on how to oppress people. Carl remembered them because he was familiar with the company's ideas, but he forgot about delving into them in depth and thinking for himself about how to oppress people more meticulously and steal the credit from his office colleagues.

In the Academic Affairs Office of Arasaka Academy, several faculty members looked at the classroom where only one person had left, and manipulated the surveillance cameras to focus on Gaius who had left the classroom.

"Gaius Brutus is different from other trainees. His purpose of entering the academy is probably to sell Black Mewtwo. Has his evaluation come out yet?"

"It's already out, and it has some use value. According to the physiological data of students in class yesterday afternoon, the hormones secreted by most male students when they are anxious have decreased. The appearance of Gaius is benign to the college management."

"So, should we indulge his behavior?"

"The proposal allows for a trial month."

"One month later, he will be punished for illegally selling Black Mewtwo in the academy according to Article 3, Paragraph 6, Line 7 of the Academy Regulations. All proceeds from the sale of Black Mewtwo will be confiscated, and he will be fined. He will then be banned from entering any facility run by Arasaka Corporation."

"Should we start drafting the punishment now?"

"And if he is willing to take the initiative to contribute his sales channels and let our faculty members take care of that line, then his fine can be waived and only 95 percent of his earnings can be confiscated."

"Ninety-five percent?"

"We can make some adjustments to the details. The penalty clause can be written as 50%. On the grounds that we assisted and pleaded for leniency, we can ask him to voluntarily hand over 45%."

"We can take forty-five?"

"Forty is the maximum. We'll take five and split it in half when the time comes."

"Let's do it this way." In the eyes of the faculty and staff in the monitoring room, Gaius, who was walking under the surveillance, had become a small fortune that they would get in the near future.

In order to increase this 'extra' income, during this month, all faculty and staff of the academy who know about this matter will not only not stop it, but will actively indulge Gaius.

After all, who doesn't like to have a fatter wallet?

"Those idiots sent by Arasaka Corporation to manage the academy and learn the knowledge in the academy should be thinking about how to take my money now."

Gaius sent a message to Jack and Oliver in the voice communication: "We tested it all day yesterday, but we didn't get any warning today. According to Arasaka's efficiency, this is already a default. We can purchase in large quantities. David sent a series of Mewtwo and Black Mewtwo sellers' contacts and purchasing methods that he knew this morning. I'm giving them to you."

Jack: Okay, I'll accompany Oliver to Lao Wei's place after he installs his prosthetic eye. You also want to buy kitchen utensils, right? We can buy them on the way there. Be careful in the academy.

Carl: I will. I won't be careless on Arasaka's territory. Don't forget to bring back the meat. I plan to try to make braised pork tonight. Don't forget to bring it back if you want to try it.

Jack: I won’t forget it. You’ve said it several times. You can’t forget it. Braised pork, right? I’ve been looking forward to it.

Carl: This is the most classic way to cook pork. In fact, there are many other ways to cook pork, but I am not very confident about the ingredients of other methods. Braised pork is a pork dish that involves relatively few other ingredients.

Jack: I see. The young master thinks that other foods are not worthy of him. By the way, Lao Wei has been in trouble with a few groups of scavengers these days. Since Lao Wei was unwilling to accept the prosthetic bodies taken from other people by these bastards, they sent emails saying that they planned to do Lao Wei. Lao Wei didn't mind and said he could handle it, but I think we have to do this job even if we are not paid. What do you think?
Carl: Don't ask me for advice on cleaning up the garbage. The piles are an eyesore. Just treat it as an exercise before dinner tonight. Send me the email address of the scavenger and I'll look up the address on the back during class. When I get home from school in the evening, we'll go to their house and do it. Let's do it quickly so that we don't waste dinner time.

Jack: I'll pass it on to you later. Oh, wait, Carl, Oliver is about to start surgery, and I have to help Old Wei keep an eye on the door to prevent those ignorant thugs from coming.

Carl: I’ll contact you later.

Gaius ended the call and was about to go to each classroom to talk to the students who had ordered Mewtwo from him yesterday and tell them that the Mewtwo they wanted would be available tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when someone stopped Gaius.

She was a girl with azure hair tied in a ponytail and purple eyes.

Gaius had an impression of her. She was the girl with the car keys of the 'Herrera Gangster GTS' whom he bumped into on purpose yesterday. Gaius originally planned to use her as a stepping stone to get familiar with the slow pace of Arasaka Academy, but with the help of many male students, he abandoned this idea yesterday afternoon.

Because compared to getting to know Arasaka Academy by getting to know the girls and making friends with them, it is obviously easier to get some inside information from male students who have common interests with you.

Now the other party has taken the initiative to find me. Why?
When Gaius lowered his head slightly out of curiosity and looked at the girl who was about 20 centimeters shorter than himself at 1.8 meters tall, the girl had already stared at Gaius' face and said a word.

"thief."

This is not a good word.
